The RF1171 is a low-loss, compact, and economical surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter designed to provide front-end selectivity in 418.0 MHz receivers. Receiver designs using this filter include superhet with 10.7 MHz direct conversion and superregen. Typical applications of these receivers are wireless remotecontrol and security devices operating in the United Kingdom under DTI MPT 1340 and in the USA under FCC Part 15.
This coupled-resonator filter (CRF) uses selective null placement to provide suppression, typically greater than 40 dB, of the LO and image spurious responses of superhet receivers with 10.7 MHz IF. RFM's advanced SAW design and fabrication technology is utilized to achieve high performance and very low loss with simple external impedance matching (not included). Quartz construction provides excellent frequency stability over a wide temperature range.
